Yiddish Song Project

Yiddish Song Project

From the musical theatre of New York’s Lower East Side, to Yiddish Swing, the passion of the Tango and the traditional folk song and Klezmer tunes of the Shletl, The Yiddish Song Project breathe new life onto old songs creating a rollicking, foot-tapping, soul searching sound.

Yiddish Song Project is a true rarity, one of less than five bands in Europe performing classic Yiddish songs as well as composing new music in Yiddish.

Jewish music at its best - experience the wild, joyful and melancholy Yiddish song tradition plus a few original twists. Top folk fiddler Gavin Marwick joins Stephanie Brickman (vocals) and Phil Alexander (piano/accordion).

Text supplied by third party.
